15 March 2016, Location: City Hall in Paris

In the framework of the BinGrid project, conference on sustainable biowaste management was held in Paris,

In France from 2016 onwards,, compulsory obligation for the separation has been set up for all biowaste producers above 10 tonnes of biowaste per year. In 2025, this obligation will apply to everyone, including households, as foreseen by the Energy Transition Law.

This new regulatory framework marks the beginning of a new era: circular economy of organic matter. It presents many new opportunities for stakeholders in the Paris Region: reduction of amounts sent to disposal, production of organic fertilizer to fight soil degradation, production of energy which is both renewable and storable, soil carbon sequestration, etc.
